Quick Card

Hi folks - just a quick post for what turned out to be a very quick card - it is a long time since I have had a card come together this quickly.

I printed off the image which is one from Cora at Digital Two For Tuesday.
I was inspired by a challenge to make a white card with a feature of red, but this ended up with a wee bit too much black, but that is not a problem as I wanted a masculine card.  I was also following a Midnight Madness sketch challenge (#84)

To add some interest to the black layers I embossed them with the diamond plate folder, and added just a wee bit of bling



And volia, here is my card!!



Thanks for calling by, and may you day be blessed.

Diamond / hash mark impression plate here we come! To think we have been shopping for all weather (mud and snow) tires for nearly a month and this diamond impression idea never glimmered. Ah Haaa! Thanks for this A+ prompt, Maxine. Email me for a NZ chat. Thanks. mt23stamperatyahoo
So glad you shared this quick card. The design seems clever for an ATC from your nifty workplace.
Keep Looking UP!
